Vuln ID: CVE-2026-68433

Published:  2026-08-12  00:17:43.403

Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

libceph: bound get_version reply decode to front len

handle_get_version_reply() uses msg->front_alloc_len as the decode
boundary for MON_GET_VERSION_REPLY. That is the size of the reused
reply buffer, not the number of bytes actually received.

A truncated reply can therefore pass ceph_decode_need() and decode the
second u64 from stale tail bytes left in the buffer by an earlier
message, causing an uninitialized memory read.

Use msg->front.iov_len as the receive-side decode boundary, matching
other libceph reply handlers and limiting decoding to the bytes that
were actually read from the wire.
